That also. But seeing it was a surprise. You see this type of doubling on all of the Seated Liberty coins. So look for it on a one close to you.    |

That is some remarkable doubling on "LIBERTY", good eye Coop. Interesting info GrapeCollects, the fact that there's only 20 known makes variety listing unnecessary? I guess if they all have the doubling it makes sense which is likely the case?

 to the CCF I would prefer to get back to the new member question, and beloved member coop can start any new thread that they prefer to discuss DDO coins. @ Won Coins Now - we need photos to help you. Post them when you can. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Sounds like an interesting coin. We'll definitely need to see pictures before we can give an opinion. Good that you got photos taken by PCGS, looking forward to seeing them. And to CCF! Edited by Zurie

Proofs at the time were individually hand-fed into the press, and individually inspected to ensure essentially perfect quality. I am dubious that with such a process a "struck through" or similar error could occur. Perhaps the coin in question is a counterfeit good enough to fool PCGS? I have recently seen a couple of counterfeits of relatively rare varieties that fooled the specialists. I could only tell they were counterfeits due to the surface finish being a bit "off", and by doing a photographic overlay to see that the variety features didn't quite all line up. Amazing quality. And they were slabbed, proving the TPGs can miss a counterfeit if they are not looking close enough. That said, you'd expect something as unusual as a struck-through proof coin to be extremely well-vetted.

Quote:One time I discovered a DDO on a Twenty Cent coin. I asked why it hadn't been listed? I got the response, who collects them? All of the 1876 CC 20 cent are from the same die and it has been known as a DDO for ages. And since they are ALL doubled dies, why list it? The image that states the 1856 - 1866 were variety 1 with the drapery is not a type 1 and is showing a strong die clash of the shield on the reverse. As for the OP coin, yes it would be rare, but it is a white elephant and I would expect the value to be maybe 20% less than one without the error. Someone looking for a proof doesn't want one that is flawed, and an error collector looking for a strikethrough doesn't need a proof. So it is rare, it is interesting, it is a novelty, but it doesn't have a collector base. The one thing it does have going for it is it is a one year type, but not a type that many people pay attention to. The stars are different on this years coin than on any of the other years. |

Interesting. I agree with condor that value is actually diminished from a normal proof.

Interesting struck through error. I agree it doesn't add much value since most people want a proof to be as perfect as possible. In this case, the die polishing lines are even more distracting to me. Hard to value it though, since it just takes one person who desires a unique error like this and would be willing to pay a small premium.

I'll stray from the pack I guess. I think it adds value since the coin is frankly in pretty awful shape. PF61 is a bit generous, PF Unc Details would be more accurate.

I just wanted to thank everyone who commented on this coin. I tried to list it not being certified on ebay, and was reported by someone as it not being real and counterfeit. But now I can list it with all your appreciated comments on value, and truly feel confident on listing it for a reasonable value. Even though it took 28 days for their "Express" service which used to take 3 business days—-haha! Thank you all for making my first posting to this forum a positive experience &  |
